If you’re craving something sweet, stop by Café Zinc, which won the Midland Daily News Readers’ Choice Award for best dessert.

“It’s a great recognition, not only for me, but for my team as well,” pastry chef Jeremy Lacreuse said in a recent phone interview. He added that his staff works hard for long hours to provide customers with the best possible dishes.

Café Zinc was named in the top three Readers’ Choice Awards in 2017 for the top breakfast spot, dessert, restaurant for steak and outdoor dining, but did not claim the top prize.

The restaurant, which opened in 2008, offers a mix of desserts of European and American origins. Everything, from the mousse and cheesecake to pastries, are made from scratch every day. Lacreuse makes the treats be as innovative as possible and often comes up with new ideas while retaining some of the favorites.

“We have a few best sellers, including our chocolate mouse cake and key lime tart,” Lacreuse said.

In addition to the café’s Main Street location, select goods including macaroons, tarts and breads are available for purchase on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Midland Area Farmers Market. Lacreuse said this initiative began this year in order to reach more people.

“My hope is that (customers) experience something delicious and delightful," he said.

Café Zinc is located at 111 W. Main St. in downtown Midland. Hours are 6:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Sunday. For more information, call 989-837-6030 or visit www.thehhotel.com/dining/cafe-zinc/
